Many AV no longer propagate because they are hybrids and the growers want to stop home propagating. This is a problem to those of us who like to grow these beautiful plants from cuttings. This shouldn’t be allowed.

Thanks, I’m thinking of getting a couple, and this is a great resource for getting the environment ready before bringing them home.

My violet is very old and i have cut the stem to about 2 inches and exposed the core of the stem and repotted it and then bagged it for 7 days, it grew wonderfully and bloomed. But now a year later, it is doing the same root above soil is about 8 inches and the leaves are bunched upwards and kinda curled up. What do i do?

My violets have been doing well for quite some time, but now some of them are getting very tiny blooms, whereas they had big, gorgeous blooms before. I can’t find any info on this issue. Got any ideas to help?

My question is about transplanting the “babies”; do you remove the parent leaf and just plant the babies?

In reply to Mjade Jade. Not that I have ever heard of. I have only known of propagating from stems. People do seem to have different methods. When I have done this before, the starter stem and leaf die off and little baby violet plants start growing in the soil around the original leaf.

Can you get seeds from the spent flowers?
